Kaja Kallas's rejection of Schröder as a mediator in the Ukraine war represents a clear stance from the European Union. Kallas emphasized that Schröder cannot be viewed as a neutral mediator due to his close connections to Russia.
Ukraine itself has also made it clear that it does not accept Schröder as a mediator, reflecting ongoing skepticism towards Russian proposals for conflict resolution.
According to t-online.de, Putin's suggestion to appoint Schröder is seen by many as inappropriate. Critics argue that Schröder lacks the necessary independence to mediate in this sensitive conflict.
